Just pondering...
I have been rewatching last weeks episode of Grey's Anatomy this morning and now I am pondering the life and death situation of Izzie Stevens. For the most part her character really really gets on my nerves. At one time I thought the ill-fated hook up with Izzie and George was like the worst thing that could happen to that show. But boy they were just getting started. This year viewers have been treated to the whole- Izzie is freaking crazy- she sees her dead fiance and gets it on with him-story line (can we say jumping the shark?- cause I can!) Plus it is all over the place Katherine Heigl is desperately trying to get out of her contract and leave the show. This is what brings me to my point. I 100% think there is no way, ever they are going to kill off her character- but I do believe that are going to drag out the possibility- until sweeps if possible (which yeah it is). Maybe I resist the idea of Izzie dying because I don't want them to mess up Alex anymore. Alex has had like the worst experience ever with the women in and out of his life- Mom- crazy, Ava- married, pregnant, crazy, Izzie- crazy/sick/in love with dying patient. So how can this show be so cruel to Alex and have him lose Izzie and just when he is starting to be a good/normal boyfriend/doctor. I am all for getting rid of Izzie just don't mess up Alex more in the process- any one else agree? disagree?

Pick my newest obsession
After talking to Laura this weekend she thinks I should start watching the TV show 24, because as history has shown us, I always love the same shows she does but only I get into them a year or two behind her. I threw out the fact I was thinking maybe I should start getting into Lost- because everyone and their Mom seem to love, LOVE that show. And then there is always Heroes - people seemed to love that show too. The trouble with all of theses shows are the fact I would have to catch up on multiple seasons. Or I could start watching this new show Castle- with my fave Nathan Fillion- only problem there is the large possibility it will get canceled. Please take a few minutes and take my poll- determine my next obsession!
Sad work hair
Today I have sad work hair. What is sad work hair? Sad work hair is the kind of hair that can only dream about a life free of inhibitions and limitations. It dreams of times where it can run free and feel the wind whipping through it. Sad work hair has a dream of a place where safety regulations and policies do not apply. Sadly it is only a dream- in reality this hair must be restrained and pulled. It cannot run free. This is why today I have sad work hair. (I finally stopped tiptoeing over of the line of safety violations and pulled my hair back into a sad pony tail today- that required many many a clip to hold back the rest of the layers.)

Ok, ok
I had an amazingly busy weekend- so I kind of took a short cut with Silent Sunday. But I figured a post of a handsome man can never hurt. I will try to post more about my weekend this week- plus I have a couple of other fun things planned- be warned. Want to make a shout out to Alyson- you rock, keep reading!

Film Friday
This week's pick: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I am going to have to do this review a little different. The plot is actually kind of complex and I feel if I would try to explain it, it would end up a jumbled mess. Not to mention I cannot spell any of the names and places in the movie. So instead lets talk about the main characters.
Dolphins: Explained as the 2nd most intelligent beings on Earth- and have been aware of Earth's impending doom they have been trying to warn the humans, their warnings have been misinterpreted as tricks: "So long, and thanks for all the fish" (They leave Earth on their own)
Arthur Dent: Human, bummed out about his house (it is going to be pulled down to make room for a bypass) and a girl- who he met at a fancy dress party and totally blew it with. His closest friend, Ford, saves his life and they start hitchhiking the galaxy. Later he finds out he is the key, or rather his brain is, to the ultimate question.
Ford: Alien, from a planet in somewhere near Betelgeuse. A writer for the Hitchhikers guide. Arthur's close friend. 1/2 Brother/Cousin to Zaphod Beeblebrox (the President of the Galaxy)
Vogons: Creatures who first pick up Arthur and Ford, horrible poetry, and bureaucrats.
Trillion /Tricia McMilan: The girl Arthur totally blew it with at the fancy dress party. Girlfriend to Zaphod Beeblebrox, he picked her up with the line "Want to see my spaceship?" Unaware Earth has been destroyed, taking prisoner by the Vogons -accused of kidnapping the President of the Galaxy. Still likes Arthur, wants him to be more adventurous/brave.
Zaphod Beeblebrox: President of the Galaxy (only won because most people were unaware of what they were voting for) Dimwitted, signed the orders to destroy the earth (to make way for a superspace highway) with the phrase: "love and kisses, Zaphod" Has two heads (to get rid of the "unpresidental personality traits"
Marvin: Manically depressed robot. No one ever listens or heeds his advice.
Heart of the Universe: Space Ship Zaphod stole, one of the reasons the Vogons are pursuing them.
Deep Thought: A computer built to answer the ultimate question of the universe (Answer: 42). Knows the answer not the question, Zaphod is on a quest to get the question- for the fame.
Humma Kavula: Ran against Zaphod for President- remembered for his slanderous Don't vote for Stupid (Zaphod) Campagin. Has the coordinates for the planet where Deep Thought is- trades them for a point-of-view-gun that Zaphod must retrieve from that planet.
Mice: Earth built just for them, in order to find out the ultimate question. Humans think they are experimenting on them but it is actually the other way around.
They get in and out of several scraps, Zaphod gets dumber (if possible), Arthur gets braver, Trillion begins to release what type of man Zaphod is. Mostly I enjoyed the movie, some funny parts. I also love Zooey Deschannel in anything (who can rock bangs better than her? No one) Martin Freeman, always has a special place in my heart because of The Office. And fancy dress parties! How fun. Plus it is fun to check to make sure they have their towels (needed for space travel) in every scene.

I am clumsy: example 1
Here is a story of why I needed to go to walmart this morning and get a new wireless adapter for my laptop. My bed is far from empty while sleeping- usually occupied for oh-about-5 more pillows than an average person needs to sleep with, my blackberry, and my laptop. I have this issue with not being able to just go to sleep. Something that has developed since my working life started happening between the hours of 11 p.m. and 9 a.m. - I think a body naturally rejects the idea of going to sleep at 11 a.m. it just isn't natural. So I started to watch movies on my laptop. (Why not just watch TV you ask?- Because have you ever watched basic cable from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. nothing but soap operas, peoples court, and random crap on MTV) Then i got my butt in gear and made the apartment wireless. Which lead to the discovery of hulu and netflix- which has contributed to many, many a tv show or movie being watched when I should be sleeping. As a result of my laptop semi permanently resting on my bed, a not so stable surface, (foreshadowing) it has gotten beaten up a bit. Just pushed around while I am sleeping and maybe more importantly gets moved around when I am getting ready (so I can continue watching whatever I want while straighting my hair) Saturday I am getting ready- sit down on my bed to put on socks and BAM- laptop crashes to the floor- I quickly pick it up to discover it landed on the wireless adaptor- while the protective casing fell off - I don't find any little parts on the floor so I assume it might be ok= maybe. I didn't have a lot of time so I manage to get the casing back on and check to see if it would still access the internet- homepage pops up! score one for the clumsy. Later when I am trying to spend more than 3 seconds on the internet and it turns out now the signal is really weak- no matter where I move the laptop. Crap- so this morning after only 3 days of being able to get the internet in the kitchen or bedroom I decide I need, NEED, need to get a new adapter so I can be wireless and awesome again!
